Comparison of shear connector for main standards
Q1: How many standards for shear connector do you know?
A: There are many standards for shear connectors: BS EN ISO13918:2008, ASW D1.1:2010, AS/NZS 1554.2:2003, JIS B 1198:2011, BS5400-6, BS5950, GB/T 10433:2002, etc. ISO13918, AWS D1.1, BS5950 are most popular by the customers.
Q2: What differences for those standards?
A: The main differences for those standards are mechanical properties. Please see the following table:
| Mechanical Properties between different standards | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard name | Tensile strength(ReH) | Yield point(Rm) | Elongation(A5) |
| BS EN ISO13918:2008 | ≥450Mpa | ≥350Mpa | ≥15% |
| ASW D1.1:2010 Type B | ≥450Mpa | ≥350Mpa | ≥15% in 5x dia. ≥20% in 2 in. |
| AS/NZS 1554.2:2003 | ≥410Mpa | ≥345Mpa | ≥12% |
| JIS B 1198:2011 | 400~550Mpa | ≥235Mpa | ≥20% (in 2ch.) |
| BS5400-6 | ≥495Mpa | ≥385Mpa | ≥15% |
| GB/T 10433:2002 | ≥400Mpa | ≥320Mpa | ≥14% |

Q3: Any other differences?
A: Yes, the dimensions of those standards are also different. Taking shear connector M19*100mm for example,
| Body diameter(mm) | Forehead diameter(mm) | Head thickness(mm) | Total length(mm) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ISO13918 | 19-0.4 | 32+/-0.3 | 10(+1/-0.5) | 100+/-1.5 |
| AWS D1.1 | 19(+0/-0.38) | 31.7+/-0.4 | 9.5 | 100+/-1.6 |
| AS/NZS 1554 | 19(+0/-0.38) | 31.7+/-0.4 | 9.5 | 100+/-1.6 |
| GB/T10433 | 18.48~19 | 31.5~32.5 | 9.55~10.45 | 100 |
Q4: What standards do Sino Stone can provide?
A: Sino Stone can provide the shear connector with ISO13918, AWS D1.1, AS/NZS10544, BS5950, GB/T10433, JIS B 1198, etc.
Q5: Do Sino Stone produce as per customer’s drawing?
A: Sure, we can make the mold as per customer’s drawing firstly, then producing shear connector for testing.
